This mill is a CNC conversion of Little Machine Shop's High Torque Mini Mill. It also has the high speed spindle upgrade installed, doubling the max spindle speed to 5000 RPM.

In addition to the standard shop safety rules for the machine shop:

• Do not make contact with the revolving cutter.
• Place a wooden pad or suitable cover over the table surface to protect it from possible damage.
• Use the buddy system when moving heavy attachments.
• Do not attempt to tighten arbor nuts using machine power.
• When installing or removing milling cutters, always hold them with a rag to prevent cutting your hands.
• While setting up work, install the cutter last to avoid being cut.
• Never adjust the workpiece or work mounting devices when the machine is operating
• Chips should be removed from the workpiece with an appropriate rake and a brush.
• Shut the machine off before making any adjustments or measurements.
• When using cutting oil, prevent splashing by using appropriate splash guards. Cutting oil on the floor can cause a slippery condition that could result in operator injury.
